Well I found my answer:

My static IP has been blocked temporarily due to

Connection time exceeded 90000 seconds in 86400 seconds

How is that even possible to have a connection time greater than 86400
seconds?


You already posted the clue in your above posts.

You've set up your news reader to check for new news
articles, at *way too high a frequency*. Don't
do that!

They hate it when you do that.

Set the check for new news articles, once every
15 minutes (900 seconds).

Reduce the Thunderbird max_connections, from
8 to 2 or even 1.

Thunderbird is adjustable, and with no trouble
at all, you can stay within the TOS limits of the
service.
